Question:

For you ballet dancers out there, how do you improve your turnout??

Im 13 and in June, im going to be taking lessons at my local professional ballet company. I want to do pointe, and one of the requirments is to hold a turnout while dancing. Do you reconmmend any exercises???

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: just strech your legs really good...my ballet teacher has us lie on our backs with our legs in the air and turn out as far as we can...you get a little further each time!
